3、用词范围 一篇文章或会话所采用的词离不开主题。PETS五级听力围绕校园生活这一主题,就必然选用与学校、学习有关的特色词汇和词组。如大纲样题中下列词重复较多:attend a lecture, take a test, 0select a course, English proficiency, study for a degree, library, resource center, presentation, register, course enrollment等,考生把握住这一点,就可以做到心中有数,不再盲目了。
4、特定场景 既然PETS五级听力从内容上以校园生活为中心,那么所涉及的场景都是学校的主要场所,如:图书馆,教室,实验室,学生宿舍甚至食堂等。此外,难度比较大的恐怕是那些课堂上讲授的或讨论的内容,上面提到的第四篇即属于这一类,但一般说来属于某一领域的普通知识,不会太专。当然,如果考生知识面宽,兴趣比较广泛,这一部分也不会构成太大障碍。 考生可以试做下列听力题中的对话理解题: You will hear 10 talks. As you listen, answer the questions by circling True or False. You will hear the talks ONLY ONCE. 1. Buying on credit is a new system. TRUE / FALSE 2. There are two types of credit cards.
